Kevin Heisler of Search Engine Watch wrote a brief catalog of the developing SEO / SEM / SMO market and the major players in the analytics / optimization space. SEMDirector, where I served as Director of Product Development, is among them.
Martin Laetsch, a colleague of mine from SEMDirector, shares his thoughts about Wikia Search on MediaPost.
I created an account on Wikia, and I didn’t see anything too compelling yet, but I think Martin has tuned into something important about what Wikia is trying to do. Open-ness benefits everyone and it’s good to see at least one party going down that path.
Mahalo is turning into a very interesting project, despite naysayers, and is probably even better equipped to do what Wikia is trying to do at this point in time.
